This is Islamic law. The Democrats and American feminist leadership stand with these vicious savages.
And French (Vichy) President Macron invited these murdering mullahs to the G-7 summit.

An Iranian women’s rights activist has been jailed for a total of 24 years – including a 15-year term for ‘spreading prostitution by taking off her hijab’.
Saba Kord Afshari, 20, was handed the sentence Tuesday by Tehran’s Revolutionary Court after being found guilty of removing her headscarf as well as ‘spreading propaganda against the state’ and ‘assembly and collusion’.
Afshari and her mother, Raheleh Ahmadi, had been prominent members of the White Wednesdays protest group, which spoke out against the compulsory hijab.

The pair routinely posted videos of themselves walking around the streets of Tehran without their headscarves to encourage other women to flout the law.
She was first arrested in the Iranian capital in August last year and jailed for a year, according to Iran Human Rights Monitor.
Afshari was released in February but continued to protest against human rights abuses by the Iranian regime, which saw her re-arrested in June.
She eventually ended up in the women’s wing of Evin Prison, in Tehran, where human rights groups say she was pressured into making video confessions of her crimes.
Despite her mother also being arrested, Afshari refused to record the videos.

On August 19 she was brought for trial, and on August 27 her lawyer says he was informed of the new sentence.
The punishment was increased by half because of ‘numerous charges and previous records’, Iran Human Rights Monitor said.
Three other female rights activists – Shima Babaii, Mojgan Lali, and Shaghayegh Mahaki – were also jailed for a total of 18 years in Tehran on Monday.
The trio were given six years each for ‘association and collusion against national security’ and ‘propaganda against the state’.

Regime change should be part of US policy toward iran. I have great respect for Saba Kord Afshari, whether or not she is Moslem, and I fervently hope for her rescue. It is so sad to see the people of Iran so oppressed by this evil, alien ideology known as Islam.
I mentioned the name Maryam Mirzakhani earlier today on this site. When she won the Fields Medal, various Iranian sites Photoshopped a hihab on her head (suggesting to me she probably was born Moslem).

The Anti Racist President Obama could have supported the Iranian People revolting against the Ayatollahs, instead he gave them billions of dollars to spread terrorism, war, and hate.

It would not only be the best thing for oppressed Iranians, but it would be in Israel’s best interests.
I am curious how much the venomous hatred toward Israel that the the mullahs have promoted has seeped into Iranian culture. I think it has been there to some extent since 1948, but the past 40 years probably have greatly exascerbated it.
Shah Reza Palavi reportedly once quipped, “I’ll start treating my people like the Swiss when they start behaving like the Swiss”.

While I can’t seem to find any video of the interview, years ago one badassed woman named Oriana Fallaci interviewed the Ayatollah Khomeini. That worshiper of the illiterate pedophile claimed that Islam didn’t require women to wear the headscarf. Since she had been forced to wear one to get the interview, she responded with something like “Well, in that case I don’t have to wear this thing” and took off the head scarf, probably risking her life considering the evil monster with whom she interviewed.
There are too few women like her in our country, Pamela being one of them.
Fallaci’s books “The Force of Reason”, “The Rage and the Pride” are must reads for those of us who would oppose the disease that is Islam.

“Well, in that case I don’t have to wear this thing” and took off the head scarf
My rather hazy recollection is Falacci did more than that. She virtually tore it off her head, while giving Khomeini her frank, unadulterated opinion of the garment!
Ah, yes, it would be fun to watch Pamela interview Rouhani. It might be difficult to find a safe location to stage the interview, however,

Your description is better than mine. I said “something like” because I didn’t want to exaggerate and could not remember exactly.

Does anyone know how Linda Sarsour is going to help her fellow activist to avoid jail. We do not need to be made aware of the issue, Iran needs to be made aware of the issue and instead of going after a woman who does not want to wear a head covering, go after “Wife Beaters” or “Jihadi’s” who kill people, unless that is not an issue also.
